Benefits of technology

The present invention provides materials and methods for making materials that do not require heat or special curing processes for their production. These materials also significantly reduce carbon dioxide and other green-house gases during production. Additionally, the invention utilizes basic processes and materials that may be incorporated into existing production facilities and methodologies. Ultimately, the invention increases the quality of the products by reducing damage to constructed features from adverse climatic conditions, extreme heat, or damaging chemicals.

Problems solved by technology

F-fly ash produces lower quality alkali activated cement systems.
None of the prior art references teach cold fusion concretes and cements that use no liquid or dry hydroxide additives as a primary activator or a pH elevator.

example 1

[0058]In order to produce a sand and cementitious material that can be trowel applied, or poured into place, that is resistant to acids, sulfates, chlorides, and heat exposure up to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, reagent resistant mineral aggregate such as, but not limited to high silicon dioxide content alluvial quartzite deposits, mined basalt, or mined marble with maximum aggregate sizes of from about ¼-inch to #200 U.S. Mesh sieve (0.0029″ or 74 μm) are combined to ratios which create a smooth textured finish, and accommodate a maximum layer thickness to aggregate size ratio of about 3 to 1. The combination will result in a not more than 35% deviation from the maximum density line when examined on an X / Y graph and plotted with the % passing raised to the 0.45 power, densifying the gradation of aggregate to its maximum. The combined aggregate should be, in terms of mass, about 20% (wt / wt) to 75% (wt / wt) of the final cementitious mixture mass including water. Pollinated Fern Oil is add...

example 2

[0061]In order to produce a sand, aggregate, and cementitious material that can be trowel applied, or poured into place that is resistant to acids, sulfates, chlorides, and short term (up to approximately 10 minutes) heat exposure up to 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit, reagent resistant materials such as, but not limited to cenospheres, expanded glass, vermiculite, expanded shale, volcanic cinders, entrained air, and other void producing and lightweight filler materials are combined to ratios which create a cementitious mass, and accommodate a maximum layer thickness to aggregate size ratio of about 3 to 1. The combination will result in a maximum 35% deviation from the maximum density line when examined on an X / Y graph and plotted with the % passing raised to the 0.45 power, densifying the gradation of aggregate to its maximum. The combined aggregate should be, in terms of mass, from about 5.0% (wt / wt) to about 40% (wt / wt) of the final cementitious mixture mass including water. Pollinated...

example 3

[0064]In order to produce a cementitious mortar material that can be trowel applied, or poured into place that is resistant to various acids but specifically hydrofluoric acid. The cementitious materials should include, either singly or combined, at least one of fly ash (Class C or Class F), and Granulated Ground Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) added in variable concentrations dependent upon mixture strength, volume change, carbonation, and rheological behavior to mass concentrations ranging to a maximum of 65% (wt / wt), typically about 10% (wt / wt) to about 65% (wt / wt). Each of the fly ash concentrations and Granulated Ground Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) concentrations of the mixture should be selected by balancing mass and volume amounts of each in mixture designs until characteristics are as specified by project requirements. The cementitious materials should include sodium or potassium metasilicate and / or sodium or potassium metasilicate pentahydrate, added in variable concentrations dep...

Abstract

A cold fusion concrete formulation including a mixture of water, silicon based mineral aggregates acting as a filler material; sodium or potassium metasilicate / pentahydrate acting as an activator; waste from steel production including Granulated Ground Blast Slag acting as a cementitious ingredient; high calcium or low calcium waste from coal combustion (fly ash or bottom ash) acting as a cementitious ingredient; sodium tetraborate, sodium citrate dihydrate, citric acid, or boric acid acting as set-time retarders; strengthening agents including including calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, or aluminium hydroxides; attapulgite, kaolin, red, or other fine grained, high alumino silicate containing clay, for increasing the silicon and alumino-silicate concentration and associated strength; a protein or synthetic protein material to form a weak covalent bond with the hydroxides and silicates, for the purpose of maintaining a consistent volume during the curing process; and a pollinated fern oil to reduce water content of the mixture and decrease viscosity.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to concrete materials, and methods for creating concrete materials, that do not require heat or other special curing processes to produce various construction materials. More particularly, the invention relates to products, and methods for their production, that significantly reduce the generation of carbon dioxide and other green-house gases during production, unlike Portland Cement and typical Geopolymer cements. Most particularly, this invention relates to cold fusion concretes and cements that use no liquid or dry hydroxide additives as a primary activator or a pH elevator.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Cements and concrete formulations used by various industries, such as the construction industry, generally require the use of significant amounts of energy for their manufacture. The purpose of the present invention is to provide materials, and methods for creating materials, that do not require heat or other special curing pro...
